Concerning Jongin And Moonkyu

I really agree with 90 percent of this. But also i dug into korean history, culture and fan lore. Basically the reason why ppl dont think they should date is idols are like the host club employees of the entertainment world. People know that is the job whenever they sign up. It isnt anything to do with artistry. Korean people know this but westerners do not. Also they already knew he had a partner and that majority of idols have partners or spouses but when you get married its expected your job should no longer be a host basically. Its a job for younger people. So honestly I think koreans are unfairly judged cause people don't even know what it is they are upset about. If they were regular artists like khip hop and krnb artists they could of gotten married years ago and nobody would ever say anything. Apparently they flirt with korean fans at private fansigns and secret events and basically act like a host and say romantic stuff. Khiphop and rnb artists date publicly so even if they flirt its clearly empty promises. Kdolls do not do this marketing style with foreign fans. We get completely different marketing. More we are friends or buddies style marketing. So that is why theres outrage with korean fans but not western. It is dumb but it does make more sense to me now. Especially because they tend to encourage kfans to spend loads or money on them like actual hosts do as well as buy music. Plus with the kfans protesting it was because they waited until after they were done touring to say info that was known months ago. If they dont care about the kfans who were protesting why not tell them before the concert. Because they wanted their money. Thats what they were mad about it was slimely. Imagine if justin pretended he was single in 2010 and after he sold out madison square garden he posted selena. Like bro if you wanna date just date but be real about it. Exo lost so much respecr from how they ignore members who left, to dating but always waiting until after promotion to be public to just not really performing well even though fans spent so much money to go to multiple concerts so everything could always sell out. Its not them dating its the fact that they just lie and are cowardly. Just rip the bandaid off date publicly and talk about theur relationships. Then the ones who dont like it will just leave. The reality is if they dont want crazy fans fine, but stop doing fanservice just do music if thats what they want to do. Promote to guys and older folks. Go to sporting events and promote in a gender neutral asexual way. Until then like they really cant complain cause they made the bed they lie in.

I’m so happy for him! I can’t stand the “fans” who don’t think idols should date and be happy.

Like yeah, we are all a little shocked about it because wow he’s damn good at hiding his private life but shit, some of the kfans are mad - some intl ones too. I hope what happened to that suju member who got married doesn’t happen to Jongdae. He’s getting close to 30 and deserves this damn happiness after giving up 8 years of his life to make us happy!!

The kaiyonce theory I wanna do will actually be a trilogy; coming this summer, finally culminating in a documentary where they finally meet in person and merge into one person ala steven universe.

pt 2 for album analysis

I've never done an album analysis before an album

like what if I'm wrong...but what is I'm right tho

Anyway I always thought a feature for a future album could definitely happen but it would have to be a foreign artist..wouldn't it?

Idk.

But anyway I really think it's going to be more symbolic than literal, the reality it the amount of spiritual messages in albums is paramount, so it's really what the focus is supposed to be on.

Bathtubs

the last album was about reality swapping and the fallen angel symbology was heavy in peaches but it was undercurrent. So if the main theme is water this time it's probably going to have more to do with the properties of water, such as how space and time and fluid.

he usually models his work after female black artists so if I look at some of their similar projects it should align at least a little bit.

But he also loves white male old hollywood and "imitated" elvis in his last album

which explains the black and blonde cause elvis was a natural blonde who dyed his hair black.

I think this is a remake? or inspired by one of elvis's actual suits

also the barber shop thing was really subtle

Like they do all these little things but if an interviewer ever asked them about it they'd be like huh what who?

He loved barber shops and doing his hair he couldn't leave it alone.

also elvis' military haircut was documented as well so I'm wondering if mimicking that was a joke? were they trynna be funny?

Did he get too into character again?

But if I had to guess, he wouldn't do the same thing twice back to back.

Hmm...thailand, water, pseudo spiritual, rnb and reggae again....

I'm going with a baby boy type island theme maybe a bit of survior.

also he's been trying to show his bellydancing off for years but the choreo and the music has never really called for it.

I think it's gonna be like a temple theme but probably similar to the mhmm kind of vibe but when he was in the white temple them. I think that's what I'm locking in. Usually I don't do this but I've been pleasantly surprised by the fact that they actually listened to feedback and he stopped dancing to corny kpop challenges cause it just wasn't working. So I think they are able to cut waste and bad ideals better and also work to their strengths and this is his strength to be honest.

Okay this was fun if I'm completely wrong oh well

But I think I'm right.

sigh I need to get back into my weird theory bag this blog seems like it belongs to a normal person

The topics delved into by japanese authors are so poetic and specific. Like it's hard to imagine bullying being discussed in such a wide manner in western literature. Yes it has been discussed but because we are such an individualistic society it's easy for us to forget different ways of life and tribalism. Solitude in some countries is a death sentence. Humanity is really a herd and it's something that comes up time and time again within society but we don't really think on it how we should. Much of our behavioral patterns and social norms stem back to survival. When I think of it like that then I understand why bullying exists on a structural level with humans. It even exists in the animal kingdom. Get right or get left basically.
